After Rick Capogrossa posted a photo of David and me on Facebook, I told him I'd post more of him, so here's another behind the counter of the Superior Hotel, coffee mug and plate of taffy in front of him, Grand Marais Pilot to the side.

Now to peek again into the Capogrossas' private sitting room and to look more closely at some objects on the hotel dining room wall.

Up North, eh?

Mementos in abundance! And each one comes with a story, but beware! Rick admits that he never lets facts get in the way of a good story!

Even the outside of the hotel has a cozy, homelike feel. Who needs in-room TV, private bath, or A/C with atmosphere like this?

Naubinway is one of our traditional stops on the way north. We look at the fishing boats and the old trucks, walk Sarah, and I take note of the different plant life that far north on Lake Michigan. This year we found Ida S. with a new coat of paint, looking good.
